What represents the resistance-arm ? c. The force required to support the load is what part of theload ? d. Would greater, or less, force be required if it were applied atE instead of C ? Why ? e. How may the load be supported vyithout anyforce applied to the lever, the legs not touching the ground ? /. Wouldits equilibrium in this position be stable or unstable ? Why ? g. Supposethe feet F to rest upon the ground, how would the pressure of the load bedistributed between the feet and wheels ? h.

Supposethat C D represents the supporting force and C G the force employed inmoving the load, how would the intensity and direction of the singleforce that accomplishes both results be found ? 25.
